Missouri baseball improved to 6-2 on Tuesday afternoon after an impressive 15-1 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This was the fourth-straight game the Tigers have won, all of which came in only seven innings.

Led by junior catcher Mateo Serna, who finished this outing with four RBI and two hits, one of which was a home run, the Tigers put on another scoring display. Nine runs in the sixth inning is the perfect example of that.

Graduate infielder Jase Woita also had an impressive afternoon, finishing with three RBI, all of which came from his team-leading third home run of the season on three at-bats.

Freshman JD Dohrmann got the start on the mound for the Tigers, going for six innings and recording five strikeouts with an ERA of 1.64. He only allowed one hit, as well. Redshirt freshman Dane Bjorn made his second appearance of the season, pitching for a single inning and recording a single strikeout.

Missouri baseball will take the field at 1 p.m. on Wednesday for the second and final game of its series against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

The Buzz: February 25

  • Despite not opening up for another two months or so, the college basketball transfer portal could once again look like the Wild, Wild West. Player retention may end up being as important as player acquisition when it's all said and done.
  • The saga of Alabama center Charles Bediako continues to be an interesting one. It will continue to be a situation that could potentially impact Missouri down the road.
  • The recruitment of David Folorunsho is shooting up nationally and the Tigers are expected to get an official visit from him. This could be a monster addition to Missouri's 2027 recruiting class.
